An Enemy of the Empire??

Sterl felt a bit puzzled, but once he understood what was happening, he couldn't suppress the smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

"This is a battle for the throne!"

His heart raced with excitement. Even without thinking too hard, he knew that countless powerful figures from the Divine Mountain Empire would gather here.

And as long as Sterl helped the relatively weaker faction, the Fourth Prince, who had been forced to defend his position within the Prince's Mansion, the elite soldiers opposing him would likely be of second-class level, providing him with a steady stream of Star Crystals!

According to his plan, Sterl could rapidly advance his second-class ritual progress!

Of course, there was another reason to help the Fourth Prince.

The rewards for hidden and mainline quests were too tempting for Sterl to give up.

Without hesitation, he decided to get involved in this murky situation!
